The results of the renormalization group are commonly advertised as the existence of power law singularities near critical points. The classic predictions are often violated and logarithmic and exponential corrections are treated on a…

A new tree model is introduced based on ordered trees, by distinguishing exactly one child of each node that \emph{has} children. The basic enumeration leads to a cubic equation of the generating function. The extraction of its coefficients…

What can large language models learn? By definition, language models (LM) are distributions over strings. Therefore, an intuitive way of addressing the above question is to formalize it as a matter of learnability of classes of…

Consider an infinite graph with nodes initially labeled by independent Bernoulli random variables of parameter p. We address the density classification problem, that is, we want to design a (probabilistic or deterministic) cellular…

The arithmetic of the natural numbers can be extended to arithmetic operations on planar binary trees. This gives rise to a non-commutative arithmetic theory. In this exposition, we describe this arithmetree, first defined by Loday, and…

It is shown that the problem of computing the Strahler number of a binary tree given as a term is complete for the circuit complexity class uniform $\mathsf{NC}^1$. For several variants, where the binary tree is given by a pointer structure…

Terms in the lambda-calculus can be represented as planar trees decorated with symbols for abstraction and application, and having variables as leaves. In this paper, we concentrate on the branches of such trees, rather than on the trees…

In this letter we derive the $(n-1)$-dimensional distribution corresponding to a $n$-dimensional i.i.d. Normal standard vector $Z=(Z_1,Z_2,\ldots,Z_n)$ subjected to the weighted sum constraint $\sum_{i=1}^n w_i Z_i=c$, $w_i\neq 0$. We first…

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the random tensor with normal distribution, which promotes the matrix normal distribution to a higher order case. Some basic knowledge on tensors are introduced before we focus on the random…

We extend classical results on simple varieties of trees (asymptotic enumeration, average behavior of tree parameters) to trees counted by their number of leaves. Motivated by genome comparison of related species, we then apply these…

We present an algorithm which, for given $n$, generates an unambiguous regular tree grammar defining the set of combinatory logic terms, over the set $\{S,K\}$ of primitive combinators, requiring exactly $n$ normal-order reduction steps to…

This paper develops methods to study the distribution of Eulerian statistics defined by second-order recurrence relations. We define a random process to decompose the statistics over compositions of integers. It is shown that the numbers of…

Abstract upper densities are monotone and subadditive functions from the power set of positive integers into the unit real interval that generalize the upper densities used in number theory, including the upper asymptotic density, the upper…

We study pairs of consecutive odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on twin primes and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of an alternating sum that is equal to 1 which…

We study the distribution of fringe trees in Patricia tries (extending earlier results by Ischebeck (2025)) and compressed binary search trees; both cases are random binary trees that have been compressed by deleting nodes of outdegree 1 so…

We consider uniform random permutations in proper substitution-closed classes and study their limiting behavior in the sense of permutons. The limit depends on the generating series of the simple permutations in the class. Under a mild…

We randomly construct various subsets $\Lambda$ of the integers which have both smallness and largeness properties. They are small since they are very close, in various meanings, to Sidon sets: the continuous functions with spectrum in…
